Chapter 279 A Crow Never Knows How Black It Is...
Little Tangbao was frightened by Qiao Mengling's sudden howl and shivered again.
She pursed her lips and looked at Yun Lie with red eyes...but in the end she managed not to cry.
"Third Uncle, Tang Bao is really leaving. You know, Tang Bao still has many important things to do..."
The little girl looked left and right at the ground, and when she saw that the chair that helped her climb up had been moved away, her little body suddenly bent down.
Yun Lie subconsciously reached out, wanting to pick her up, but little Tang Bao dodged him and opened her arms to the guard uncle, "Thank you, guard uncle!"
"Huh?" The guard blinked in confusion.
"Oh oh..." He reacted and quickly held Xiao Tangbao's armpits and picked her up.
Unexpectedly, she used too much force and staggered back two steps while holding the child, almost losing her balance.
He is an orphan, he has never been married and has never held a child... He didn't know why the little baby looks chubby but feels so light when he holds it!
So...I accidentally used too much force.
"Goodbye, Third Uncle!" The little guy sat in the guard's arms, and contrary to his usual behavior, he pinched his fingers and nodded to Yun Lie.
Yun Lie:? ? !!
Xiao Tangbao's distant attitude towards him made Yun Lie's ears buzz.
He realized it later...
It was my fault. I didn't consider the little girl's feelings and rashly accepted the task for her...
His legs went weak and he staggered and fell into a chair, his whole body instantly losing energy.
Qiao Mengling looked at Tang Bao's sudden departure, her eyes suddenly darkening.
How could she just leave like that? Didn't she call herself a living Buddha? How could she have the heart to leave a child who was only a few months younger than her missing?!
Qiao Mengling bit her lip and crawled towards Yun Lie regardless of anything... She said nothing, just reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, raised her tear-stained face, and looked at him deeply.
Yun Lie couldn't bear to see her like this and turned his head away stiffly, "Tang Bao is not an ordinary child. If she doesn't want to, she must have her reasons!"
"I... won't force her anymore. I'll send someone privately to help you find Youyou."
An official from the Ministry of Revenue was watching this scene at the door. He rolled his eyes, walked in quickly, and whispered to Qiao Mengling, "What are you doing?"
"I've heard that once Princess Zhaoning accepts the reward, whether it's a human or a ghost, she will definitely fulfill a wish for them..."
"......" Reward? Qiao Mengling was startled when she heard this, as if she had suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw. She quickly got up from the ground and chased after him, holding up her skirt.
She stood in front of the guards and knelt down with a thud, her voice trembling: "I heard that the princess always likes to make deals with others..."
As she spoke, she quickly took off the two gold bracelets from her wrists, lowered her head, and held the bracelets high with both hands: "I beg Princess Zhaoning to help me find my daughter Youyou!"
This was the little dowry she had left after being exploited repeatedly!
But to get my daughter back...it's worth it!!
In the dark, the guard responsible for protecting Xiao Tangbao couldn't help but sneer...
Are these two gold bracelets worth two hundred taels of silver? Even a random talisman drawn by their little princess is worth more than that!
Tang Bao squeezed her beautiful big eyes and gave Qiao Mengling a fierce look.
She immediately put her hands behind her back and just as she turned her head, she saw Yun Lie.
Third Uncle’s face was pale, his eyes were slightly red, and his expression... was as if he had eaten Guanyin soil!
When he met Xiao Tangbao's gaze, his eyes widened slightly, and he quickly hid himself behind the door as if escaping.
Tang Bao: “()....Alas!”
She turned her head, displaying her innate dignity, and glanced at Qiao Mengling with a faint glance...
"This bracelet is accepted by this princess."
Although her voice was soft and tender, it carried an undeniable dignity. "Whether it's a human or a ghost, this princess will search carefully for you... But if you can't find it, this thing will not be returned."
"I, a humble woman... thank you, Princess!" Qiao Mengling kowtowed heavily, but her teeth were clenched tightly, and she was already cursing in her heart.
He is indeed a wild brat from a humble family who is not presentable!
A princess... is willing to be controlled by others just for two gold bracelets!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Youyou was the truly polite and steady child!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her and her mother's lives... were too miserable!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that God was unfair... He was simply blind! !
......
At Xiao Tangbao's command, half of the secret guards appeared immediately. The leader took the gold bracelet for Tangbao, held her firmly in his arms, and turned to leave.
Qiao Mengling hurriedly wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, staggered to her feet, and followed closely behind.
After leaving the Ministry of Revenue, before she could calm down, she heard a suppressed roar of anger: "Lu Qiao! What are you doing?!"
Qiao Mengling turned around suddenly and saw her father and mother being supported by others, running towards her in a hurry?
So that's why they closed the door and refused to see her, but sent people to follow her secretly?
What on earth do they want to do?!
Do you want to laugh at her?
Mother Qiao broke free from the hand of the nanny beside her, rushed forward, and grabbed her wrist tightly, with such force that it hurt her, but her voice was very low:
"You're already a mother! Why don't you just live your life in the Marquis' Mansion and bother the Third Prince?"
"You're still entangled with Princess Zhaoning? Even though she's young, you can't manipulate her. Can you afford to provoke her?"
“???” Qiao Mengling frowned in shock. It turned out that in her mother’s mind, she was a scheming person who would do anything to achieve her goals?
As if she could see what she was thinking, Qiao's mother couldn't help but sneer, "A crow will never know how dark it is... Did I judge you wrongly?"
"..." Qiao Mengling didn't want to argue with her mother in public.
She can't afford to lose that person!!!
Father Qiao's face turned pale, his beard trembling slightly, and his hand, which was pointing at her, was shaking with anger:
"Then Aunt Mei didn't ask you for a few pieces of jewelry...those are just personal possessions. Is it really necessary for you to make such a fuss without caring about them?"
"Don't you understand the principle of patience for a while and peace and tranquility? Since you know you're not popular, why not use your money to buy some peace and quiet and make some good friends?"
"You're already a married woman, yet you're brazenly seeking out the Third Prince, entwining yourself with the royal family... How will you maintain your place in the Marquis of Wuxin's mansion in the future?"
"You've completely disgraced our Qiao family!"
